Two police officers face serious charges after allegedly forging documents that allowed foreign nationals to evade justice in South Africa.
Police officers arrested for forging Home Affairs statements, securing bail for foreign nationals who then disappear
Gauteng spokesperson for the Hawks, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Ramovha said the police officers were allegedly submitting fraudulent Department of Home Affairs statements, resulting in the release of suspected illegal immigrants.“It is with a sense of duty and commitment to justice that we report the successful execution of arrest warrants for two police officials implicated in serious crimes,” said Ramovha.
The Hawks’ serious corruption investigation ensued shortly after a complaint was lodged by a representative of the Westonaria court. “The officers were accused of submitting fraudulent Home Affairs statements, resulting in the release of suspected illegal immigrants on bail who subsequently evaded trial. A thorough investigation by West Rand-based serious corruption investigation confirmed the fraudulent nature of the statements,” said Ramovha.
